1. Amazon Fire TV: Amazon officially launched Fire TV, a streaming device that connects to HDTVs to allow you to watch streaming content on Hulu Plus, Netflix and other services. Fire TV goes head-to-head with Apple TV, Roku and other streaming devices on the market. Amazon claims that the small set-top box is three times as powerful as an Apple TV or Roku. "We're selling
millions of streaming media devices on Amazon.com ... we hear what's
working, we hear what's not working," Amazon's Vice President in charge
of Kindle Peter Larsen told reporters during the news announcement today. One big plus to the new service? It allows you to watch Prime Instant Video, something you can't do on Apple TV. On the downside, it lacks HBO Go and Vudu.
